The secondary literature on Pedro de Portugal's "Satira de Infelice e Felice Vida" is not large. It fits in a thimble. Most of the publications on Pedro de Portugal are fairly traditional, and deal mostly with the role the "Satira" plays in the generic tradition known as "ficción sentimental," a rubric that was frequently exchanged with that of "novela sentimental." This is not a medieval denomination (medieval authors prefer "tractado", treatise), but one probably invented by Menéndez Pelayo in "Orígenes de la novela" (1905-1915).

The articles we have selected for this session are among the most original ones. They explore new ideas on how to deal with Pedro de Portugal’s Sátira de Infelice e Felice Vida, an open up the need to ask new questions, in addition to the ones that link this astonishing work (a work in which, as Montero puts it, nothing is easy) to its traditions and sources.
